View clinical trials related to Caudal Anesthesia.
Filter by:Hypospadias is among the most common congenital genital malformations in boys and is typically treated through surgical intervention. During pediatric urological surgery, caudal anesthesia, also known as a caudal block, is frequently employed as a regional anesthetic technique. It has proven to be a safe and effective anesthetic approach in children, with a low rate of anesthesia-related complications. However, despite the low incidence of complications directly associated with the caudal block, there is limited and inconclusive evidence regarding its impact on surgical complications. Therefore, this randomized controlled superiority trial aims to evaluate whether the use of caudal anesthesia, compared to the dorsal penile block, is associated with an increased incidence of urethrocutaneous fistulas and glans dehiscence following hypospadias repair.
Caudal anesthesia is the single most important pediatric regional anesthetic technique and is increasingly performed in pediatric regional anesthesia practices. It is preferred in order to relieve intra-operative and postoperative pain in children of all age groups undergoing pelvi-abdominal or lower limbs surgeries using levobupivacaine 0.25%.Various adjuvants have been added to levobupivacaine to prolong postoperative caudal analgesia. Nalbuphine as many opioids can be added in caudal analgesia. This prospective randomized double blind study was done to compare the effects of plain levobupivacaine versus Levobupivacaine plus nalbuphine single-shot for postoperative pain relief in children undergoing hypospadius repair surgery.
The investigators are measuring fentanyl consumption in micrograms used during anesthesia for patients on fast track congenital cardiac surgeries
This is a chart review. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and side effects of very low dose morphine administered caudally to children that went to surgical procedures that used caudal anesthesia. The study compares caudal block with Bupivacaine (1 ml kg_1 of bupivacaine 0.25% and saline 0.02 ml kg_10) with very low dose morphine (a mix of 1 ml kg_-1 of ropivacaine 0.2% and preservative-free morphine: 10 µg kg-1).
